A Rattling Rhyme

SHE’s COMING AGAIN! There’s a chill in the air There’s a word on the street Be afraid have a care Put the children to sleep She was gone, bells were tolled But the body’s not cold For she’s coming again Yes she’s coming again It was safe to suppose She was due to be crowned Then a young wizard rose Had them all spellbound With a look really cool Like a kid from high school But she came back again Yes she came back again Then she’d surely reside In a white stately home She’d the right, qualified With two X chromosomes She’d be in with a song What could ever go wrong She was coming again She was coming again But an old wizard now With a strange style of hair Took the stage took a bow And with her almost there She was pipped at the post Cross the states, coast to coast She was numbing again And succumbing again Without power came the crash Sans connections she’d plied Then the flow of the cash Disappeared, nearly dried So she needs to dispense With some new influence So she’s coming again Yes she’s coming again Feel the chill in the air Hear the word on the street Be afraid have a care Put the children to sleep So you thought she’d depart With a stake through the heart No she’s coming again Yes she’s coming again 6 August 2018

Yes it does, although not literally ....not quite!

It sounds political but at the same time it makes me think of a witch, a modern witch. I see the Brits are guessing something. I don't know enough about my own country's politics let alone England's to make a guess. But wow, this is GREAT writing . The rattling meter is really good! Congrats for your win.

You are going to give me nightmares! She must not come again. This is clever and I love its tosses and turns that create a delightful flow. Clever and engaging unlike she who cometh. Good luck in the contest and all else. All the best ... CayCay

This has such great musicality and atmosphere, Geoffrey! My guess is a certain lady in the political field!? I believe you have left 'again' off the end of the second verse in case you wanted to adjust it. I'm sure that this will tickle Nina's ossicles!
